The room was small, but clean. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom had everything we needed. We were a little disappointed at the view from the window. It looked out on pipes and equipment that was surrounded on all sides by hotel walls, so I just closed the blinds. You also have to pay to use the internet.... More

We stayed at the Handlery on Mother's day weekend and it was a very pleasant stay. The rooms were big and updated. It had a large flat screen tv. The bathroom was small. The hallways are not updated, and it made me nervous going to my room, but the rooms were great. The staff was helpful and friendly. It was... More

We stayed at the Handlery for one night to break our long journey from the UK to Hawaii in late March. On our return journey in early April we stayed for three nights to give us the opportunity to see San Francisco. We had to choose between staying in the Union Square area and the Fisherman's Wharf area. While the... More

Very central in the city and good value for money, rooms quite big and staff very helpful, look out for the Tender Loin area which is rough and only about five minutes walk away

We stayed three nights in a Premier room on the third floor overlooking the courtyard with a small outdoor pool. First impressions were that the hotel was quite dated and we had to walk our suitcases up a flight of stairs rather than wait for the elevator by the pool. During our stay we found it was quicker to take... More

We had a lovely and spacious courtyard facing Premier Section room with a balcony on a high floor. Everything was lovely. The king size bed was comfortable and the bedding soft and smooth. The staff was attentive and helpful. We were really suprised at how quiet the room was since we were in the heart of downtown. Overall, we had... More

You get silver service and treated really well. The prices are great too and the meals are prepared to perfection. Its a great hotel for... More

There are pros and cons for this hotel. The big advantage is its location. We couldn't have picked a better one. It's right downtown, on a main street and near Union Square. The biggest disadvantage is its rooms. The one that we got was tiny, old, dark and noisy. The service was good though.

My wife and I just completed a fantastic vacation in San Francisco. We make the right decision to stay at the Handlery Hotel. This property is located downtown close to so many attractions. The hotel staff is very friendly and helped to make our stay memorable. Yes the hotel is a bit older but the rooms are spacious (club section)... More
